Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi reiterated on Monday that Iran's nuclear activities remained "transparent."

In a response to a recent statement by Russian Atomic Energy Minister Alexander Rumyantsev, who claimed that Iran has purchased required devices for production of atomic bomb from various countries, Asefi said: "Iran's nuclear activities are very transparent."

"Iran has not purchased any devices for production of atomic bomb and only seeks peaceful use of atomic energy for the welfare of its citizens," the spokesman was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying.

"We have a very sincere cooperation with International Atomic Energy Agency and have invited Mohamed El Baradi to inspect Iran's facilities and installations," he said, adding that "some hostile circles are trying to distort realities in a bid to attain their objectives."

He said that Iran would ask Rumyantsev to provide explanations about his statements.
